The Poinsettia was discovered in Southern Mexico by American botanist Joel Roberts Poinsett, who’s death is commemorated by Poinsettia Day. The scientific name for the Poinsettia is Euphorbia Pulcherrima.
you're right Bern..... you should think about making them up. On an honest note, mom used to call them Christmas plants and always got one this time of year.
Didn't know they were a euphorbia ... Bern - by the way - have you just rediscovered an old diary or something with all these weird 'days' in...??!!
I've found a better site - gives me a choice Today I could have chose Ding-A-Ling Day. Call someone a ding-a-ling and you'll only be making yourself look bad because nobody uses that term. Well, almost nobody. The 600 members of the Ding-A-Ling Club, founded in 1971, are all about it. They sponsor the annual Ding-A-Ling Day to promote their agenda of 'less wiles, more smiles; less tears, more cheers; less push, more shove.'
Keep them alive through the year by watering with the warm tea from the teapot they like warm water and tea .
